KENTA made a surprise appearance at AEW Beach Break Wednesday, attacking Jon Moxley after the main event.
When Moxley was about to take revenge on Kenny Omega, a masked man jumped into the ring and hit Moxley from behind. The man revealed himself as KENTA and gave Moxley a GTS as Excalibur, mentioned in comments that he will challenge Moxley for the IWGP US title without providing the date.
AEW World Champion looked on with approval when Don Callis (in the comment) said it was amazing how these things came together when they were all there. Excalibur questioned whether “the Bullet Club breach has been corrected.” KENTA, a member of the New Japan list, looked at Omega and then left the ring, continuing to face Moxley.
Moxley will defend the US title against KENTA in the February 26 edition of New Japan Strong in a fight that has already been recorded. Moxley won the title at Wrestle Kingdom 14 in January 2020, but has been unable to work for NJPW since last February due to the pandemic.
Omega, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated Moxley, Rey Fenix and PAC at the main Beach Break event on Wednesday.
